Setup and Installation
Installation and Connections
Do not connect the power supply or power on the PoE switch until
all NetworkHD device network connections are made.
In order for NetworkHD encoders and decoders to be controlled by
the NHD-000-CTL, the AV port on the CTL MUST be connected to the
same LAN/VLAN as the NetworkHD encoders and decoders.
In order for the devices in the system to be controlled via a 3rd party
controller, the CONTROL port MUST be connected to the same LAN/
VLAN as the control system.
1. Install NetworkHD devices to allow airflow through the product, for
encoders it is recommended to use the NHD-000-RACK. The install
location should be dry, well ventilated, and out of direct sunlight.
2. Connect sources to the NetworkHD encoders using an HDMI cable
from a quality brand such as
WyreStorm Express
ensuring a firm
port connection.
3. Connect the HDMI display to the NetworkHD decoders using an
HDMI cable from a quality brand such as
WyreStorm Express
ensuring a firm port connection.
4. Connect NetworkHD encoders, decoders, and CTL to the network
switch using well terminated and tested category cable of no more
than 100m/328ft.
5. Connect the decoders RS-232 port to the display following the
pinout in the
RS-232 and Debug Wiring
section.
6. Connect the Audio Out to an amplifier with analog audio in following
the pinout in the
Audio Out Wiring
section.
7. If using the NHD-200-TX, configure the dipswitches in the
NetworkHD encoder for the correct video source type. HDMI, DVI,
VGA, or Component.
Download the
NetworkHD Switch Mapping Worksheet
from any
NetworkHD product page to keep track of Mac addresses, device
and alias names for later reference. This will aid configuration or
troubleshooting.
